The old man's question made Pei Jinye raise his head. After thinking about it for a few times, he pretended to be dumbfounded and said, "Senior, what do you want me to say? Or... is this mission assigned by your old man? Honestly, what are you, the big guys, thinking in your hearts?"
Yes, I couldn’t guess it anyway.”
"Slippery." The old man smiled heartily and looked at Lin Xiawei who was having a meal next to him: "Look at whether your junior brother is slick or not."
"Junior brother?" Pei Jinye said cautiously: "May I ask who my master is?"
"Didn't I tell you about accepting you as my disciple?" the old man asked.
"No." Pei Jinye looked over innocently: "Senior, is this kind of thing really so casual?"
"What I do is to act based on spontaneity, and we are not like those stupid heads in the tribunal. Accepting apprentices is all about fate. When fate comes, you and I will be masters and disciples." The old man looked frank.
Pei Jinye narrowed his eyes and said to himself.
"Seniors may not know that I am currently in the investigation team and have no plans to leave Dapeng City in the short term."
"Small problem." The old man looked relaxed.
"I am a spiritual person."
"I know, and so does your senior sister. I don't look for talent when recruiting disciples, only for fate."
When Pei Jinye heard this, he turned to look at Lin Xiawei beside him. His nominal team leader was currently eating.
"May I ask what level your senior is?"
"I haven't tested it." The old man shook his head: "According to your current grading standards, I have killed all the third- and fourth-level monsters, but I haven't fought against those old monsters at the fifth level yet."
Pei Jin was startled: "Senior, aren't you kidding?"
The old man was not angry, he just said softly: "Dapeng City is too small, it's not a bad thing to go out more."
Pei Jinye suppressed the shock in his heart and took a deep breath: "Senior, what do you want me to do?"
Hearing this, the old man smiled heartily.
There was no rush to answer.
Instead, fresh fat beef was put into the hot pot.
"Just like this, let nature take its course." I'll give you the conditions, you can grow up on your own, and you don't have to worry about any grievances or grudges."
After a while, he picked up the fat beef, dipped it in the base, rolled it around and stuffed it into his mouth.
The old man enjoyed the delicious food on his taste buds for a while, and then he said beautifully: "The most difficult word in this world is chance. If you and I are destined, I will come and find it. It's that simple."
This old man talks too eloquently.
To be honest, Pei Jinye didn't want to get close and always felt that he would be sucked into some whirlpool.
However, if you really have a strong backer, you will do more good than harm in the future.
But what he cares about is...
Isn't this old man the same as that guy from the Bronze Society?
"Senior, have you ever heard that there are always dragons?"
"I don't know." The old man answered lightly. He stuffed the last piece of fat beef in the bowl into his mouth, chewed it for a while and said slowly: "I have been tempering my blood with your senior sister for the past two days. I will go out with you someday when I have time.
, those old friends should also give them a meeting gift, it won’t be a problem to collect one or two sealed items.”
"Master is here."
Pei Jinye recognized him easily.
The old man laughed and shook his head, looking at Lin Xiawei: "This guy is not an ordinary shrewd guy, he is always careful."
"Yes, Master."
…
"I don't have many disciples, and you currently have five..."
After leaving the hot pot restaurant, Lin Xiawei had returned to the investigation team, and Pei Jinye walked slowly down the street with his newly recognized master.
"Your senior sister Lin Xiawei will not stay long in Dapeng City this time..."
As he spoke, the little old man in blue coat couldn't help but chuckle: "Who would have thought that such a small place could cause the Judgment Office to lose elites again and again. Don't you think it's interesting?"
Pei Jinye responded with an inexperienced look.
The little old man in blue coat looked away and handed over a string of jade beads: "You can keep this bracelet with you for now."
Pei Jinye took it ignorantly.
The little old man in blue coat said with great interest: "Although I don't know what happened to you and the Jiang family's sword, but since it left a mark on you, just let it go. It's not necessarily a bad thing."
Pei Jin was stunned: "You know all this?"
"It's not just me, other people can see it too." The little old man in blue coat clicked his tongue: "You want to make a fortune quietly, don't you?"
Pei Jinye laughed dryly.
Suddenly I thought of the conversation I had with Elder Faceless, who seemed to have "seen" it too.
But at that time, I didn't have enough contact with Shen Xiao... Maybe the other party didn't expect that he could get direct contact with Shen Xiao so quickly.
Thinking of this, Pei Jinye felt helpless.
In front of those strong men, I'm afraid I really feel like I have no clothes on.
He was also glad that he had not agreed to Mr. Han's choice to go to a big city.
Maybe you will be "seen" completely.
If he exposes his many extraordinary things, it is estimated that all the old priests in Xizhou will have to dig their graves and crawl out.
"This bracelet can suppress the mark of that sword on your body... Do you know what you look like now? To those strong swordsmen, you are a bright light in the dark night, and you are a bit provocative."
Pei Jinye's head turned black when he heard this: "..."
The little old man in blue coat was amused by his expression: "It seems like you don't even know."
Pei Jinye said helplessly: "I really don't know anything."
"Hahahaha." On the street, the little old man in blue coat laughed heartily, "That sword has been sealed in dust for too long, and I probably want to fight with someone for a long time. If you hadn't run into me, you might have been killed by Bei one day.
Those madmen in Jiangzhou will kill you when they see it... Jiang Yijian had a mortal enemy with those madmen back then."
"..."
Seeing Pei Jinye's face turn dark, the little old man in blue coat's laughter became even more hearty.
"Haha, you kid, you calculated everything, but in the end, you were included in the calculation."
"Master, you can't just ignore death. Do you have any peerless swordsmanship that you can teach me?"
The smile of the little old man in the blue coat suddenly stiffened, and he said angrily: "You are quite breathless. As soon as you open your mouth, you need a few books, just one. If you practice well, maybe the title of Sword Immortal will be yours in the future.
."
"So awesome? Who else can learn this swordsmanship besides me?"
"Your second senior brother."
"So how is his swordsmanship now?"
"He is just too playful. He managed to become a half-step swordsman. I just heard that he defeated a certain first-level adjudicator."
The little old man in a blue coat took out his elderly smartphone and pulled out a photo.
Pei Jinye looked over.
A handsome young man carrying a sword held a huge monster head in his hand and made a "yeah" gesture for a selfie.
The little old man in blue coat noticed the change in Pei Jinye's expression, his smile became wider and wider, and he traced his fingers across the screen.
"This is a photo of his hunting in the Grand Canyon of Death two months ago..."
"This picture was taken when he was eighteen years old. That day his sword energy vibrated, triggering a pilgrimage to the sword tomb...I captured it, how about it?"
"And this one..."
"This is your senior brother. Although his face is dark, his heart is actually even darker. But don't worry, your senior brother only plots against outsiders..."
The little old man flicked his hand and suddenly a picture of a young girl taking a bath appeared.
A moment.
The master and apprentice looked at each other in tacit understanding.
The moment the phone screen went black, the little old man said without blushing: "Maybe... there is a virus in the phone."
Pei Jinye: "Yeah."
"..."
…
Early in the morning.
The mountain behind the Jiang family.
[One sword determines life and death]: 1.1% entry level;
Pei Jinye let go of the long sword in his hand. Even with his current posture, he still found this sword skill obscure and difficult to understand.
Proficiency cannot be added for the time being.
Pei Jinye guessed that it had something to do with him.
Talents related to swords...
Nowadays, there is only one Shadow Sword Technique.
If it weren't for the extremely high upper limit of this technique, he wouldn't have spent time practicing it.
This offensive type of trick, once learned, is also one of the trump cards for self-protection.
…
Under the locust tree.
The big man's head rubbed against Pei Jinye's palm, and his open mouth touched the jade string on his wrist intentionally or unintentionally.
"Hiss(eat.)"
A big slap in the face.
Pei Jinye said angrily: "Eat one."
The big man clung to the big locust tree in grievance.
Not far away, the morning sun shines through the mountain forest, leaving mottled light and shadow. Under the breeze, a dozen birds are chirping.
A blue bird landed on Pei Jinye's shoulder, chirping as if condemning someone's crime.
Pei Jinye couldn't help but laugh, and patted the big guy again: "Next time you eat a bird secretly, I won't forgive you!"
…
Eight forty in the morning.
investigation team.
Pei Jinye ran into Lin Xiawei head-on: "...team leader."
"Yeah." Lin Xiawei nodded calmly. It was not directed at Pei Jinye, she just didn't want to talk today.
However, when passing by Pei Jinye, he suddenly dropped a sentence.
"Call me senior sister from now on. Do you have time now? Set aside an hour and a half, and I will teach you the blood-cutting technique."
Pei Jinye heard this: "Sister, is this a blood refining technique?"
"Yes, haven't you already refined your blood?"
Lin Xiawei's words made the hair behind Pei Jinye stand up.
"you……"
He wanted to know why even his senior sister saw his martial arts cultivation.
"Master told me." Lin Xiawei's words immediately dispelled Pei Jinye's suspicion.
He breathed a sigh of relief, but also asked curiously: "Senior sister, are you also in the blood refining realm?"
"No." Lin Xiawei said calmly, turning around and leading the way to the practice room.
Neither does refining the viscera. Could it be that the senior sister is the dharma body?
…
Inside the practice room.
ten minutes later.
Lin Xiawei let go of her hand and signaled Pei Jinye to realize it on his own.
Quietly.
[Blood Cutting Technique]: Entry 0.01%.
…
"You really have great potential."
Just when Pei Jinye felt the strangeness brought about by the "Blood Cutting Technique", Lin Xiawei's voice suddenly sounded faintly next to him.
He was stunned for a moment and looked up: "Sister, you are serious."
"Do you know how long it took you to get started?" Lin Xiawei looked at him calmly, and Pei Jinye even felt that his junior sister was more like an artificial intelligence brain.
"79 seconds." Lin Xiawei's voice came, and she turned around: "Back then, senior brother spent three hours getting started, second senior brother took one hour, and third senior brother took one hour and twenty minutes."
Seeing her stop, Pei Jinye couldn't help but ask, "What about you, senior sister?"
"I have never practiced cultivation, how can I get started?" Lin Xiawei asked strangely.
…
…
After Lin Xiawei left, Pei Jinye was in a mess in the wind.
Does it make sense that a person who has no martial arts practice is proficient in martial arts techniques?
If everything goes as Lin Xiawei said...
This little senior sister’s extraordinary abilities are too incredible!
It's a pity that Pei Jinye still doesn't know what Lin Xiawei's extraordinary ability is, otherwise the universal talent can really be copied.
After entering Dacheng, Pei Jinye was surprised to find that he could continue to increase his proficiency.
Dacheng 55%... Dacheng 99%...
Break the limit!
After reaching the breaking limit, Pei Jinye immediately felt the changes in his body.
There was faint bleeding on the skin.
In the blink of an eye.
Pei Jinye has become a bloody man.
Twenty minutes later.
Pei Jinye opened his eyes and saw black blood stains on the ground.
He tried to move his body, but was surprised to find that his body seemed to have become lighter.
Look at the properties panel again.
[Second blood refining: 1%]
""Blood Cutting Technique" plus "Blood Refining Technique" actually produced an effect greater than 2!"
The federation is very big, and no matter how powerful the knights are, they may not really be able to understand all kinds of martial arts in the world. Moreover, Li Yan's family martial arts has almost disappeared. Who could have imagined the wonderful effects produced by the two.
Of course, this is also because Pei Jinye has upgraded both techniques to limit-breaking levels.
In this world, Pei Jinye is probably the only person who can cultivate these two mental skills to the limit-breaking level at the same time.
"So now I have broken through to the second blood realm!"
Punch out with one fist.
There was a faint sound of breaking through the air.
"Flash Crash" prompts!
In an instant, a harsh sonic boom came, and the iron fist was powerful.
But Pei Jinye was a little dissatisfied.
Pull out the properties panel and take a look.
No wonder I feel like my blood is deficient.
Qi and blood value: 11-42;
Physical strength: 16-42;
Both attributes have declined to varying degrees.
Pei Jinye took a hurried shower in the bathroom that came with the training room, and then went directly to his dormitory.
"Didi dididi——"
Enter the password and the safe will open automatically.
The supplies he secretly brought from the Jiang family were neatly placed on the upper, middle and lower floors.
Start taking supplements with big mouthfuls.
Both values began to rise rapidly.
"Buzz!"
Mobile phone vibration.
There was a call from Big Brother.
"What time is it? I haven't come to eat yet. I have another unexpected mission. I'll tell you when you get here."
Pei Jinye looked at the time and unknowingly it was already twelve o'clock in the afternoon.
Pull out the properties panel.
The two attributes of vitality, blood and physical strength have returned to 25 points.
Pei Jinye closed the safe again, stood up and left.
…
"here."
On the second floor of the cafeteria, Zhou Ye waved.
Pei Jinye walked over.
Brother Big had already prepared a meal for him, "Sit down and eat first. I told you to listen... I received a joint investigation notice from the military department to temporarily close Xinling Mountain this afternoon. We and the Seventh Group will jointly implement it."
"What happened again?" Zhou Ye asked in a low voice.
Big Brother shook his head and took a sip of tea: "At short notice, I guess there is some major discovery. Anyway, we are cautious. Generally speaking, when encountering such a thing, there is a high probability that it will cause death."
…
Lunch break is cancelled.
This time Lin Xiawei personally led the team, but she did not appear on the front line after arriving at Xinling Mountain.
Currently, the only person in the entire investigation team who knows about her relationship with Pei Jinye... is the elusive old man.
Everyone opened their suitcases and activated combat mode number two.
Big Brother took Pei Jinye, and Zhou Yemao was at the end, waiting quietly.
It didn't take long.
There was a roaring explosion like thunder from deep in the mountains.
At this moment, all the people guarding the perimeter subconsciously tightened their weapons, the expressions under the masks were also solemn, and the strings in their hearts were completely tightened.
"It's coming out." Brother Big quickly whispered, "Don't panic if something happens, just hide if you can."
It didn't take long.
A huge fireball fell from mid-air, setting off huge waves of dust.
At this time, someone suddenly raised his head and discovered with horror that countless fireballs were falling from the sky.
Everyone dodged one after another.
The next second.
It was like countless divine thunders fell from the sky, destroying all the mountains and forests, billowing thick smoke and exploding, and countless figures were blown away.
Big Brother dodged away, and when he landed on the ground to take a breath, he was shocked to realize that there was no one around him.
"Jin Ye? Zhou Ye?"
…
"follow me."
Pei Jinye suddenly heard the voice of senior sister Lin Xiawei. He looked up and saw that Brother Big and Zhou Ye had dispersed not far away. Fortunately, they were all okay.
He turned around and followed Lin Xiawei quickly away, deep into the mountains.
"Sister, where are we going?"
"Have you learned "One Sword Determines Life and Death"?" Lin Xiawei asked with an unexpected answer.
"I learned it," Pei Jinye replied honestly.
"Then let's see how I kill people with this move." Lin Xiawei said softly, but Pei Jinye couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
"Sister, can you still kill people?"
Lin Xiawei looked silently.
The pace stopped.
There was a clear meaning in his eyes.
What bullshit are you talking about?
The two came to the riverside.
Angry waves surged.
On the opposite bank of the river, two groups of people were fighting together.
"Sister, who are they?"
"It's the group of shadow thieves who wanted to rob the prison earlier." Lin Xiawei tilted her head and looked, muttering to herself: "How come they are related to the Starfire Army?"
After murmuring, she turned around and looked.
"The key to determining life or death with a sword is to condense the sword's energy, strike at will, and condense the sword's spiritual will to the extreme..."
Lin Xiawei walked to the shore, more than a hundred meters away from the other shore. She raised her hand and grabbed it out of thin air.
"Boom!"
The next second.
Pei Jinye felt an extremely pure sword intent from this young woman who could not feel any martial arts aura at all.
The fighting on the other side suddenly stopped, and the swords in many people's hands shook.
The second leader of the Shadow Thieves Group narrowed his eyes, casually dropped the corpse of the Federation soldier in his hand, and looked across the river waves with burning eyes: "Listen to the Federation people, if you don't surrender, we will kill you until you surrender!"
"I only use one sword, you can see it clearly." Lin Xiawei seemed not to notice the other party's arrogance and arrogance, turned around and said calmly to Pei Jinye.
Pei Jinye stared.
The next second.
I saw Lin Xiawei's jade hand gently lifting it.
In an instant, the surging river suddenly condensed together, and in an instant, under everyone's horrified eyes, it condensed into a huge water sword.
The river bed at the bottom of this river is even exposed!
Seeing this scene, everyone's expressions changed.
Especially the second leader of the thieves group who was so loud just now.
Who is that woman on the other side?
"What does it mean to decide life or death with one sword? Look -" Lin Xiawei's voice drifted to Pei Jinye's ears: "This is it."
As the voice fell, the huge water sword condensed on the river suddenly turned into a blazing sword light, which was more turbulent than the river and brighter than the starry sky.
Everyone could see it clearly. Even Big Brother, who was outside the mountain range at this moment, subconsciously raised his head to look at the sword light flashing in the air.
But just at this moment.
The expression of the second leader of the Shadow Thieves Group changed wildly, the hairs on his body stood up, his heart was shaking wildly, and his body's instincts were frantically alerting him to evade.
Because he clearly sensed that the target of the sword on the opposite side was him.
In his eyes, this huge water sword completely locked his energy. No matter how he dodged, the sword would strike.
What does this mean? It means that he cannot understand the essence of this sword at all!
His expression was extremely ugly.
The second master did not choose to sit still and wait for death. He put his hands together and shouted something, and suddenly the two sides of his palms flickered with light.
His hands quickly condensed the seals.
Shoot it hard.
At the moment when he took the photo, the void in front of him seemed to be crushed by the black light that spread out, as thick as a mountain, forming a round disk.
The disc seemed to be a sea of water, absorbing all the black matter in the surrounding void in one glance.
The light is like a cosmic whirlpool, and the burst of momentum seems to be able to swallow even the sun and moon in the sky!
It was at this moment that the sword in mid-air arrived.
Just when everyone thought they were evenly matched, they were smiling at each other as the world collapsed, but what happened next made everyone on the shore look horrified.
Before the water sword even touched the huge black disk, the latter collapsed suddenly under its weight, and the black light that filled the sky was like thousands of crushed little snakes, disappearing in mid-air.
And this sword is still moving forward, with overwhelming force, as if nothing in the world can stop it!
In the eyes of the second leader of the thieves group in disbelief, the sword was reflected in the shadow of his eyes, and in one millionth of a breath, he got closer and closer...
And he had no ability to resist at all, and he didn't even have a chance to survive. He could only let the sword get closer... and hit it between his eyebrows.
The other side.
Lin Xiawei did not look at the result of the sword, but turned around and turned her back to the people on the other side.
One sword determines life and death!
Once the sword is released, it is the result!
Pei Jinye's brain was running wildly.
Keep modeling! Model! Model!
The sudden increase in mental power allowed him to perform modeling 200,000 times in a short period of time. He deduced and calculated this sword.
Although I don't know the strength of the second leader of the thieves group, the sword that the young senior sister wielded almost didn't pause at all, and she killed the opponent with her sword.
This strength...could it be that the young senior sister's extraordinary swordsmanship?
A born swordsman?
"My master told me back then that a sword determines life and death. If I want him to live, he will live. If I want him to die, he will die."
Lin Xiawei's voice came.
Pei Jinye came back to his senses, raised his head and looked up, and said in a harsh voice: "Senior sister, I can hear every word of these words, but when they are put together... I am a little confused."
"It's normal. This is not an ordinary swordsmanship. You are still too weak now. Trying to swallow the mystery of this swordsmanship in one bite is tantamount to an idiot's dream. Even the second senior brother with a clear sword mind suffered at least 20,000 yuan when he realized this sword.
It took several beatings before he could scratch the surface and achieve his current level of swordsmanship."
Pei Jinye couldn't help but feel shocked.
This time I really hugged my thighs!
"gone."
Lin Xiawei nodded and said.
Pei Jinye was stunned: "Those thieves on the other side..."
"The people in the seventh group have solved it. I brought you here to let you experience this sword. I know that you are struggling in practice, but I still want to advise you. You can't bite off more than you can chew. You don't have to strive for the first place in everything.
Even just one or two unique tricks are enough."
Pei Jinye knew that he had been misunderstood.
But there was no explanation.
If he really only had one talent, he would naturally devote himself to cultivation.
The key is that he currently has too much talent.
This means that he can master many areas that others cannot touch.
It's no exaggeration to say...
Pei Jinye doesn't even know where his upper limit is.
He only knows...
Become stronger, break through the limits of life...perhaps one day the gods in this world will no longer be anything more than mediocre.
"Senior sister, thank you very much."
"Since you are my junior brother, I will naturally protect you. But let me tell you, if you see people from the tribunal in the future, you will beat them if you can."
"good!"
"Don't you want to ask why?"
"I will just do whatever the senior sister says."
…
The breeze blew by, and with a startling glance, Lin Xiawei laughed out loud for a rare moment.
